5 Active Cricketers Who Are Lookalikes Of Each Other

Cricket has been a game that is still developing in the European and American countries and hence there will circumstances when cricketers come across players who look like themselves. There have been many instances of spotting players who are lookalikes of other players in the past and it is indeed a fascinating sight.

The development of the game will certainly increase the probability of these interesting things happening more regularly and certainly in ten years from now, there will be more instances being spotted of cricketers who are lookalikes of each other. Here are five of those active cricketers who are lookalikes of other cricketers.

5 Active Cricketers Who Are Lookalikes Of Each Other:

Virat Kohli – Ahmed Shehzad

The Indian skipper Virat Kohli is a surprise package on the list and his lookalike is the swashbuckling opener from Pakistan, Ahmed Shehzad. It was in the 2015 WorldCup when both cricketers played against each other, and they did look very similar on the Television.

Though they have similarities in the face, their records are vastly different and Virat Kohli is one of the best batsmen in the modern era. Ahmed Shehzad hasn’t been in the international setup for the last three years and he needs to pile up a lot of runs in the domestic circuit to get back in the reckoning for his nation again.

AB Devilliers – Travis Head

Former South African batsman AB de Villiers and the Australian batsman Travis Head are lookalikes of each other. Interestingly, they both were part of the same franchise in the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad and they played together on many occasions in the past.

De Villiers has now retired from the international setup and has been playing only franchise cricket. On the other hand, Travis Head is looking to get back in the Australian test setup and he is no longer part of the IPL. Both have played important knocks in the middle order and de Villiers continues to be an important player for RCB.

Martin Guptill – Heinrich Klassen

New Zealand opener Martin Guptill did have a lookalike and he is the current South African wicket-keeper batsmen Heinrich Klassen. Guptill has been a consistent performer for New Zealand in limited-overs cricket and he is one of the best fielders going around in the world.

Klassen has been developing his stature as an international cricketer and he captained the South African cricket team in the T20 series against Pakistan recently. Guptill and Klassen have the very similar face and only the jersey colour might have to differentiate them.

Ajinkya Rahane – Dhawal Kulkarni

The Indian test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has got a lookalike player from his stateside Mumbai and both have played for the state together on numerous occasions. Rahane is an established middle-order test player now for India while Dhawal Kulkarni had been in and around the Indian team in the past.

Kulkarni and Rahane have played together for the Rajasthan Royals and the Mumbai Indians in the IPL and they have very similar features too. They both are really quiet in the dressing room and have won a lot of hearts in the team. Rahane is currently with the Delhi Capitals squad while Kulkarni is in the Mumbai Indians squad.

Prasidh Krishna – Shan Masood

The Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna is the latest addition to the list as he was spotted as the lookalike of Pakistan opener Shan Masood. The tall speedster from Karnataka was very impressive in the recent limited-overs series against England and he even earned a lot of backing from the Indian skipper.

Shan Masood has part of the Pakistan test squad for a while now and he has played 25 tests so far with an average of nearly 30. Both the cricketers still have a long way to go in terms of success and the platform has been set really well for them to pull their socks up. Prasidh Krishna is currently playing for the KKR side in the ongoing 2021 IPL.
